Like this:
greg@greta:~$
greg@greta:~$ md5sum -c index.html.md5
index.html: OK
greg@greta:~$
That is, the command "md5sum", with the -c "check" option, and the name
of the checksum file. The checksum file you'll need to use will
probably be named something like "SUSE_9.2_<blah_blah_blah>.iso.md5, and
not index.html.md5 like I used.
The command "man md5sum" might help if that doesn't. It will lead you
to "info md5sum".
This all assumes you're already running *nix, or at least have cygwin
installed on Windows. If you're trying to do this on Windows it can
(and should) still be done, but will require a Windows md5sum checker,
which afaik, doesn't just come with.
Good luck,
Greg
